Quick Bump!! The E V12 Had its first kill last night 
Me, Myself and Jody did a couple of 3rd gear Blasts and GOD does that thing pull
It felt more like i was going in reverse after all the lag is gone on those Fans THAT ***** is Out!!
Great car Jody, i can only imagine a full 3rd- 4th gear blast

Your car is a monster, and you know it!
My car is still having trouble with the tranny she stays stuck in gear and misses shift points. I cant stay on her as I dont want to create more damage. We ordered 65 clutch packs this week, will be replacing all of them. In about a week or so she will be a different animal.
I will be testing her out in Mexico so who ever wants to come out and play shoot me a PM ...

This is awesome stuff!!! Thinking about purchasing a CLS63 in a year or two but keeping the E55 as a project car... I think a V12 will be in order!

Hey Mark- yeah we did 2 quick rolls from around 60mph, but for that car not even being fully finished yet, I have no doubt in my mind it will make some epic 1/4 mile track passes!
Look at you rolling with the big boys-ZR1 and GT-Rs..you've been quiet so I'm sure you've got something for them, ZR1+drag radials = 10.50s

Jody, you are THE MAN! For you to be pulling away from Loco's 130mph+ trapping car this means that you are going to be putting a HURTING on almost every damn street car around. I'm going on vacation in a few days but when I come back I need to see this beast in action! Plus hopefully we can line it up with Godzilla...I just need someone else to drive my car since I have no license
Oh and yeah you need that transmission beefed up asap. A few pulls and the stocker will be toast
Congratulations again my friend on perhaps the most epic build on these forums yet.
You got my # bro so hit me up when the car is fully up and running!

Philly has been getting some great action from what I hear. Too bad it's a monstrous journey for a night of racing lol

There are plenty of cars out there that will show me their tail lights. In terms of her going fast, she is fast alright, but need to get that tranny built, I am glad it's slipping since I wanted a reason to upgrade it.
Once she is done I will let you know and we will do some rolls just for fun. LOL
Man, How did you loose your DL?

in terms of the AMS GTR, well....I checked drag times and there are nearly 2-3 pages of most of them in the low 9's....that is one serious power kit.
I have heard that they do have some tranny and gear problems, is that so? none the less, killer machines.

Funny when my stock E63 suddenly feels 'slow' at 0 - 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. LOL!

Great build!!
I used to be a heavy street runner in Philly. We would run the drags down south by the stadiums.. then move over the Betsy Ross. After those we would run top speed over the bridge. My M5 would pull 180's. My buddies M3 could get 173.
After that we would have money races that started on the throughway from the bottom of Betsy Ross to 76 than to 676, down 95 then back and over Betsy. Big pots.. winer takes all.
Fun and scary times. Seen a coupe guys get killed out there. Saddest was the 17 year old street biker.
Anyway.. miss those days.
Anyway.. i have the best traffic lawyer out there. If you get jammed up.. look him up. Ron Chesin. The easiest way to find him is through Society Hill Pawn Shop on 7th and South. He used to charge 250 per ticket. Reckless, Careless... it didn't matter. Beats everything.

V12GS, congrats, I really appreciate folks who have the ***** and the patience to do such projects.
Since english is not my first language and since I'm lazzy to read the whole thread, can you tell me ....
- Is that a 600 or a 65 engine ?
- What are the Crank horsepower ?
- Are the internals stock ?
- What is modded in the driveline (Tranny,driveshaft & diff) ?

-its a 600 motor, same internals as the 65 but you already know that..
-Crank Horsepower- these days people throw 1000 HP around like nothing, I really don't know, but not really interested in HP figures, I am more interested in 1/4 mile times. Thats where the real test is at.
-Internals are stock, all we have is Speedriven intercoolers & their Custom tune for this set up and Marcins expert advice.
-Driveline remains completely stock, except transmission. It has been rebuilt with OEM mercedes parts, we also upgraded the Valve Body to a new one, 65's and 600s are the same but we got a newer year. The one we had was making transmission slip and I could barely hit 3rd gear without it limping.
We put a higher stall torque converter (3000 stall) this improves spool of the line. Once the diff shatters we will upgrade that. LOl. Next upgrade is reinforcing the subframe.
